Hi
I did not quite follow the bit in Ch 24, on page 13 (section on Consistency of bases - Interest rate). Could someone please help me along the lines of the example below if possible?
Suppose a Life ins co has bought n indentical bonds with term 3 years to back a contract (liability) it has sold to a PH. The total income from the bonds is £5000 pa.
Under the contract, the PH receives £5000 pa for a period of 3 years.
Following on from the 1st 2 lines on page 13-
Asset value = market value of the bonds (n*price of each bond).
Liability value = 5000/(1+i1) + 5000/(1+i2)^2 + 5000/(1+i3)^3
where in is the n-year spot rate (say obtained from the BoE website), n going from 1 to 3.
Q1 Is my understanding of the 1st 2 lines of page 13 correct?
Following on from the next 3 lines on page 13-
Asset value = 5000/(1+i1) + 5000/(1+i2)^2 + 5000/(1+i3)^3
Liability value = 5000/(1+i1) + 5000/(1+i2)^2 + 5000/(1+i3)^3
where in is the n-year spot rate (say obtained from the BoE website), n going from 1 to 3.
Q2 Is my understanding of the next 3 lines of page 13 correct?
Any help would be much appreciated.
